Using a Local, Shared Repository With the Installer

The Installer can use a local repository instead of an internet repository.

When you run the mapr-setup.sh script, it attempts to connect to https://package.ezmeral.hpe.com/ and configures an internet repository. If there is no internet connectivity, the script asks for archive files so that it can create a local repository.

IMPORTANT
To access the Data Fabric internet repository, you must specify the email and token of an HPE Passport account. For more information, see Using the HPE Data Fabric Token-Authenticated Internet Repository.
NOTE
Passing -a <full path each archive file> to the mapr-setup.sh script bypasses the internet connectivity check and automatically creates a local repository with the provided archive files.

To install with a local, shared repository, the node that runs mapr-setup.sh needs the following:

NOTE
Red Hat clusters must have access to a local EPEL repository, as described in Adding the Data Fabric Repository on RHEL, CentOS, or Oracle Linux. The EPEL repository enables installation of these packages:
  • clustershell
  • pdsh
  • pdsh-rcmd-ssh
  • sshpass*

*Before installing a cluster on a SLES image, you must install sshpass, as described in Adding the Data Fabric Repository on SUSE.

After downloading the mapr-setup.sh script and the archive files to the node that will run the Installer, run the following command from the directory that contains the mapr-setup.sh script:
bash ./mapr-setup.sh -a <full path to the archive files>
